WHAMMO!!!!!
I have officially been hit by the hormone induced preciousness that I find so amusing in other women...& it hit hard!!!
Holy shit - seriously Megan! Normally (ha ha when have I ever been normal) not a lot gets to me. Water of a ducks back. Other people's opinions don't often touch me because I am a firm believer in what I believe about myself is the 100% total utter truth. No question.
However, something was said to me in passing yesterday & it has got to me far far far more than it should have. Actually, it should not have got to me at all.
I realise this is my issue, how I interpret what someone else says to me is completely up to me. I can let it hurt me, or I can stand in the truth of myself & let it bounce off me. Why the HELL I have gone with the first choice has me baffled.
SO.....I'm going to blame pregnancy. Yeah yeah pregnancy is a beautiful thing, the miracle of life, a wonderous adventure, a new beginning bla bla bla.... What about what it does to your freakin' hormones????? I'm not afraid to say...this part sucks!!!
Now if I was talking to myself, which lets face it, I am....I would say something like, 'suck it up sista'...
So this is it....I have released it. I've had my sook, I've had my rant, now lets get on with this growing a human business!
Pffft - women!!!!!

16th January 2011
21 weeks today! Woot!!!
I have a wee little person in there who loves to have a good kick. I'm absolutly loving that feeling, you could never get tired of it, its wonderful.
Floods...
Been ok since my last entry. Compared to a lot of people, I am bloody fantastic. These floods in Qld have been a major kick in the guts for so many people. We are doing what we can, but of course you always feel like perhaps you should be doing more.
The community spirit is overwhelming & for a girl who rarely tears up, I have shed quite a few tears over this past week. I feel blessed that me & my little family are all safe & dry & happy & healthy.
The Parentals...
Mum & dad have been stuck in Tamworth because the borders back into Qld were closed due to the flooding. But they safely got home yesterday. We are having them over for dinner tonight & I'm actually finding I'm a little apprehensive. We haven't really seen them or spent any time with them since finding out the gender of our baby, & its going to be sooooo hard not to share it with them. But, they want a surprise, so a surprise it shall be. ( if I can keep my mouth shut ).
Feeling off...
Been feeling yucko on & off for about a week now. I'm assuming its my sugar levels that are consistently dropping & then being 'ok' in the morning. At 21 weeks, food is starting to have a major effect on my blood glucose readings where it didnt up until now....ugh...day time insulin here we come. As it is I'm on 20 units at night...I didn't even get up to that level with Julian at the end of the pregnancy. This very well could be a long 17 weeks & 4 days. Not that I'm on the countdown or anything! LOL
Has the bell rung?
In just over a week Jake & Riley will be back at school. I have enjoyed the Christmas break, but just in the last few days I'm thinking...these young people need to get back into a normal routine & out from under my feet. Of course school resuming means we are closer to May 20th (@9am)...which is only 17 weeks & 4 days away. Have I mentioned that already? ;)
Damn you Target baby sale...
As we all know, a fav thing for any expectant mother to do is to buy things for her new little bubba to be. I knew this sale was coming so I pulled out ALL my new born & beyond baby things. I couldn't believe how much I had & how much I didnt actually need. What a let down!
On the upside ( & I always prefer the up side )...I saved myself probably a crap load of money...I guess.... ;)
Baby names...
An upside to finding out the gender of a baby is of course narrowing down baby name choices. I of course, have the one/s that I REALLY like, but some 'other' people (AKA my husband & children) think they have a say in it. Soooo we'll all make a list of the names we like & then the 'perfect' name for this little munchkin will be decided from there. Of course we all know it'll be the name the Mamma likes....but hey, gotta give the others a fighting chance right? LOL
Till next time....

20 weeks today!
Thats 18 weeks & 4 days to wait until I am on the slab waiting for them to lift this bubba into the world.
I went out today & bought some little things for the baby, nothing to exciting, we pretty much have everything that we need...but some things are too cute to resist.

MIA
8th January 2011
Been MIA for a while.....whoopsie???
To be honest, I just lost interest. I became too tired to try & keep up with a blog. Seeing some girls on my 'due in' group from Essential Baby has sparked my interest again.
Ok...so catch up time. I think a list is in order...
1. I had my 12 week scan - everything looks awesome. Low risk for downs.
2. I've been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes & it was only a matter of days before I was put on insulin. I struggled with it (Lord knows why) in the beginning, but now its just part of my day.
3.Ive had my 19 week scan. Everything once again looks perfect.
4. We know the gender of this baby number four, but have chosen to keep it to ourselves.
5. My sister has just announced to the world (although we've known for over 2 months) that she too is Up the Duff! She's due in July...awesome news.
6. My belly has started to expand.
7. I can feel the baby kick & in the last few days the kicking has become stronger. This feeling never gets old!
8. I'm booked in for a c/s on 20th May @ 9am.
9. I'm nervous
10. I'm excited.
That just about sums it up I think. I havent been too precious thus far, not outbursts as such or feelings of overwhelment...hope it continues.
I shall try to keep up with my blog...I promise I will!

It's a love thing...
25th October 2010
I'm having trouble sleeping! I hate this bit. Why is it I can lay down in the middle of the day & be asleep in 2.3 seconds flat & yet at night its toss, turn, get up & pee, toss, turn, get up & pee!
The muscles in my neck are tight & aching...I need a massage!
I woke up this morning feeling like a train wreck. It's kind of like I can see my family buzzing around getting ready for their Monday of work & school, but I just can't participate.
I stumbled out of bed...eyes hazy. I asked Mark if he could do the school run....of course the answer was yes. I went back to bed until 9:30am. The Ninj (AKA Julian) had a bottle for Mark then rolled over & went back to sleep....unreal!!!
You are so lucky someone commented to me today... I replied with...It's a love thing.
Feels good to be loved & cared for...I might just make it through the next 30 weeks yet! LOL

Who turned on the lights....
24th October 2010
Note to self:
SELF, DO NOT STAY UP LATE LIKE A CRAZY PERSON BECAUSE WHEN YOU WANT TO SLEEP, THE NINJ (aka Jules) AND THE BODY WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!!!
Cough cough cough cough cough waaaaaaaaa.... Cough cough cough cough cough waaaaaaaaa.....
Poor little man!
I woke up this morning after struggling to get any sleep at all. The light coming into my room felt like someone was shining a torch in my eyes.
It's quite warm today. Mark has gone off to work AGAIN! I'm so looking forward to when he can take some weekends off.
Few things to do to get ready for the week ahead....& I just don't have the energy!
Fabulous!

Waking up to week nine...
24th October 2010
It's 12:38am. I should be in bed. Thank God tomorow is Sunday (or should I say today).
Nine weeks. Given the baby is coming out the sun roof, should only mean another 30 weeks.
Is it wrong to be on the countdown already??? LOL
Been feeling a bit off this week. Nothing major. But mix it with a bit of lightheadness & I want to curl up into a ball.
The joys...

What is it with people assuming we are desperate for a girl? Seriously...I just don't get it!
I know I should shake it off. Clearly other people think they are saying something nice when they wish & wish & wish us to have a pink one.
Mark & I are not believers in 'every man should have a son or every woman should have a daughter' business. I just don't understand all that.
Crapola...I think my hormones are going to have a louder voice than I do!
If you don't have thick skin...perhaps you shouldn't read my blog! HA HA!

Week eight...
17th October 2010
I'm 8 weeks today and I put it out there the best way I knew how. Facebook!!!! The world (the world I care about) now knows.
Lots of congrats from everyone which was lovely. Oh MIL (mother in law) doesn't know...leaving that up to Mark.
Still pretty tired, even when I've had more than enough sleep. Ho-Hum...can't last forever.
I think perhaps my sugars are messing around. Been feeling...weird. It's the kind of weird I feel when GD (gestational diabetes) is reeking havok with my body. Yuk!
2.5 weeks till OB appointment......c'moooooooooon!

This keeping a secret is the pits! So today I told one of my besties. Was an awesome reaction, got a big kiss & a hug! She was sooooo excited. Loved it! So glad I decided to share it with her....made me feel like a million bucks!
I've had a really sore lower back & legs. Don't enjoy this bit much. I'm tired too, but perhaps not as tired as I thought I'd be. Famous last words???
Almost four weeks until my first OB appointment. Drag drag drag...
